The Holy Quran 76:30 — Surah Al-Insan

Arabic text

وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا

Translation

(However,) You cannot will anything without Allaah's will. (No person can be rightly guided without Allaah's will). (Allaah decides who will be rightly guided and who will not be because) Verily Allaah is All Knowing (of our talents), the Wise.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Your willing too is by Allah's willing: that is, your willing too cannot come about without Allah's willing, because the will of the servant is subordinate to the will of Allah. He knows what kind of aptitude and capacity each person has, and His will operates in accordance with that.
